FIST JIM PIUS
Riverside's Star Athlete Boosts:
the Outlook for 1913 at
Grant Field.
S CORE a victory for Tech before
the season’s first scrimmage—
Jim Preas will be wearing the
Old Gold and White this year!
The prize package of all Southern
prep school athletes arrived in this
town this morning from Johnson
City, Tenn. His welcome was among
the most notable ever staged at the
well-known fiats, now commonly call
ed Grant Field
If there is a college or university in
the South that wasn't after Jim Peas
/* its name and rating escape the writer
of these lines.
Jim is a bear for athletics—and
I then some. He is of the tall, rangy
and rugged type known as the “nat-

f $ oral athlete,” six feet and a half tall,
v scaling 192 in his birthday clothing—
another Henry Disbrough Phillips
with as long a build, if a shorter and
less symmetrical moniker.
And the acquisition is bound to
mean a tremendous boost for the
Tech backfleld, both in speed and
weight.
Preas is not only a football man.
He is a track athlete of all-around
ability, a wonderfully speedy man, a
crack baseball player and a wonder
at basket ball He is another Jim
Thorpe, by every account.
And now he is a Tech student.
Two other valuable acquisitions
blew in this morning, too.
Carpenter, a giant from Conyers,
scaling six feet two by 196 pounds.
. and Churchill, a huge Texan with a
, big reputation, shared in the wel-
" come accorded Jim Preas, and went
t* *over to the gym to be measured for
their coming-out duds.
And to add to the general air f
i hope, Jean Patton got In this morn
ing from Chattanooga—another likely
candidate whose advent had been a
subject of speculation and some doubt.
The Tech debutante season . ap
pears to be prospering.

FIR GOLF TITLE
E ITHE1K George Adair or K. G.
Blanton will be the new golf
champion of the Atlanta Ath
letic Club by to-night, when the final
match will have been played in the
championship flight after a week of
excellent golf, marked by low scores
and close finishes.
Yesterday Adair and C. V. Rain
water met in the last of the semi-
fina's to decide which should play off
for the title with Blanton, who had
previously put YV. R. Tichenor out of
the running. The match was close
and interesting, Adair winning, 3 up
and 2 to play. The final match in
the first flight will he 36 holes.
In the second flight. Perry Adalt
kept up the spectacular golf that has
marked his play all through the pres
ent tourney, defeating C. J. Holditch,
4 up and 3 to play, and earning the
position of favorite in the finals for
the cup in the second flight.
Winter Alfriend kept up his con
sistent winning game in the third
flight and came through the final
match a victor over W. C. Warren, 2
and 1, in an extremely well-played
and interesting contest.
The fourth flight still has one of its
semi-finals unplayed, but that match
and the finals should be finished be
fore to-night.
Advance notices of the champion
ship match promise a contest worthy
of a large gailery, which it probably
will attract. Adair turned in the low
, card in the qualifying round, with
! Blanton as next man, and unless the
' form of one or the other slips in the
pinch, the match should prove the
closest and best-played of the tour
ney-, as well as the most important.
Following is the summary of re
sults up to to-day's play:
First Flight (Semi-finals)—George
Adair defeated C. V, Rainwater, 3 up
and 2 to play: R. G. Blanton defeated
W. R. Tichenor, 1 up.
Second Flight (Semi-finals)—Per
ry- Adair defeated C. J. Holditch, 4.up
and 3 to play.
Third Flight (Semi-finals)—W. C.
Warren defeated W. Markham, 6 up
and 4 to play; Winter Alfriend de
feated H. M. Ashe, 1 up.
(Finals)—Winter Alfriend defeated
W. C. Warren, 2 up and 1 to play.
Fourth Flight (Semi-finals)—G. L.
Simpson defeated E. D. Richardsn, 5
up and 4 to play.
Yale Expects Much
Of Kicker Pumpelly
NEW HAVEN, CONN.. Sept. 13.-—Great
things are expected by the Yale coaches
this year of Howard Pumpelly, who as a
substitute last year made a 51-foot
drop kick, believed to be the longest
ever made. Pumpelly has been doing
some astonishing booting during the past
few years and the coaches are giving a
large part of their time to further de
veloping him.
The squad of candidates will not be
sent into scrimmage work until next
week, the coaches being satisfied to drill
them just now in passing and falling on

lenge match with Lee Allen Brooks,
of Birmingham, present title holder,
and Smith and Mansfield settle the

match with Brooks and Bartlett, also
of Birmingham.
MITH’S final match was with Ed
Carter, and it was a grand exhi
bition by both sides.
Carter led off by missing his net
smashes, while Smith’s Lawford
stroke, working in great shape, was
used in connection with accurately
placed shots that struck spurts of
pink dust from near the back line.
Smith won the first set, 6-2, in com
paratively easy fashion.
Then Carter spurted and by speedy
net play and terrific smashing he
took his share of the games in the
second set. running it into deuce, and
finally losing, 8-6. after a brilliant
struggle. Smith led at the start of
the third set, but again Carter rallied,
and that set also went into extra
games, both men playing at top speed
and extracting round after round of
appiause from the gallery, the lar^e^t
that had watched the nlay thus far.
Once more Smith’s deadly Lawford
and accurate placing ti med the bal
ance, and he took the last set, 7-5.
giving him the match and the right to
play for the title.

cross-court shuts, while Ramspeck’s
returns periodically showed flashes of
excellent form.

j garded as two of the most promising

Errors Prevent Bushers Winning
▼ KNOXVILLE, TENN . Sept. 13.—
The champion Crackers made it
one-all with Knoxville yester
day afternoon, and they were pretty
lucky not to lose the second game of
the series as well as the first.
Gilbert Price, the sturdy left
hander of Bill Smith’s clan, pitched a
good game, but had nothing on Hall,
the Knoxville hurler, who suffered
defeat mainly because of two rank
errors in the first inning, which help
ed the visitors to three runs and the
game—for they could not score there
after.
Smith and Bisland showed off in
remarkable fielding Wallop handling
ten chances and the sensational Bls-
Iaml an even dozen without a skip,
noxville put on three fast double
plays, and another by the visitors
made the game, for the most part, a
brilliantly played affair.
Harry Holland’s double in the first
inning followed a couple of errors
and scored two of the Crackers’
three runs.
The last game of the series will be
played this afternoon. The attend
ance has been large.
